A Song.....This Womans Work

Every once in awhile a song comes along that wraps itself around your heart. For all of those who have lost a friend, a loved one or just seen the sadness that comes with the final chapter of life.....this song sums it up. I heard it on Daniels fav movie and then it came on a commercial for CSI...it has been on mind since and I had to go out and find it.

Donnie lost his student teacher last week in a car accident. He was 46 years old....he was prior service and had decided that teaching was his calling. He was a sweet man that always had time for a child. Donnie always said how fair he was and how he could explain things to him when no one else could. The whole class and school felt his death. May he rest in peace....may they all until the day that we meet them again.
For my Small Grandpa, My Big Granny, Lisa, Pena, and all the others......

Pray God you can cope.
I'll stand outside
This woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man.
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking:
All the things I should have said, but I never said.
All the things we should have done, but we never did.
All the things I should have given, but I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away!

Give me these moments.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your, give me your hand babe.
give me your pretty hand

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things I should have said, but I never said.
All the things we should have done, but we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should have given, but I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.
